nope. afaik, wine won't give you a shell. but if you think about it, why
should it? MS windows doesn't give you a shell either. when it does, it
gives you a dos shell. wine just emulates that!
if you want a command line interface, dosemu is the way to go. i have more
experience with dosemu; it works quite well. i've been able to get doom,
eradicator and duke nukem 3d working with dosemu.

i'm not sure what you mean here -- interrupts are generated by hardware and
received by the processor. they aren't accessed by user space stuff. at
least, as far as i know.
if you explain a bit more, i may be able to help.
btw, if there's not much win32 stuff going on, i think dosemu would be better
for your situation.
